"Lelaki Kelantan" Perlu Boikot Kosmo!

Semalam, pada 20 Mei 2015, akhbar Kosmo! telah mengeluarkan satu berita bertajuk "Lelaki Kelantan diheret ke mahkamah", merujuk kepada seorang lelaki didakwa di mahkamah atas tuduhan membunuh tunangnya, seperti dalam gambar.

 Keratan Kosmo! 20 Mei 2015

Saya bukan nak sentuh pasal kes bunuh tu, memang sewajarnya dia didakwa & dikenakan hukuman jika terbukti dia melakukan jenayah tersebut. Apa yang amat mendukacitakan adalah, sekali lagi kita dihidangkan dengan etika kewartawanan yang amat rendah dan berat sebelah oleh penulis berita tersebut, juga ketua editor Kosmo!

Sejak bila pula apabila suatu jenayah dibuat, ia dikaitkan dengan negeri? Kenapa perlu ditulis "Lelaki Kelantan"? Lepas ni maknanya semua jenayah yang berlaku, tajuk berita tentangnya perlu ditulis bersertakan nama negeri. Contohnya, "Lelaki Selangor amuk, cederakan 3 orang.", atau "Wanita Pahang ditangkap mencuri barang di pasaraya", atau "Lelaki Malaysia songlapkan wang negara", dan lain-lain lagi. Tajuk-tajuk di atas hanyalah contoh semata, tiada kaitan dengan sesiapa. Jika ada, ia mungkin hanya kebetulan.

Tan Sri Annuar Musa, Ahli Parlimen Ketereh & juga Presiden KAFA juga menyatakan kekecewaan beliau atas ketidakadilan berita yang ditulis.

Dengan itu, saya menyeru semua "lelaki Kelantan" di luar sana agar kita boikot saja akhbar Kosmo! ini. Bukan saja "lelaki Kelantan", tapi seruan ini perlu disahut juga oleh "wanita Kelantan", "remaja Kelantan" dan "kanak-kanak Kelantan." Jika ada rakyat Malaysia lain mahu turut serta, ia amat dialu-alukan. Tunjukkan kepada mereka bahawa etika kewartawanan tahap sampah amat tidak dialukan oleh rakyat Malaysia. Banyak lagi akhbar lain yang boleh dibeli, Sinar Harian atau Berita Harian ke. Saya bukanlah minat membeli akhbar bercetak, sebab saya biasanya baca secara online saja. Tapi sekiranya ada hari tertentu yang saya rasa perlu beli akhbar, atas sebab topik tertentu yang menarik, maka saya akan pilih Sinar Harian. Itu pendapat saya semata, tidak wajib betul, harus salah.

Akhir sekali, saya harap Kelantan FA bakal memberi tentangan sengit kepada Singapore Lions XII dalam perlawanan akhir Piala FA di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil pada Sabtu ini, dan bakal kembali menjulang piala tersebut serta mengelakkan ia terlepas ke tangan pasukan negara jiran. Tak tahu lah jika ada rakyat Malaysia yang tak suka tengok Kelantan menang, dan lebih rela melihat Singapore menang.

Gomo Kelate Gomo!

The first Olympics gold medal was so close, but yet so far from us. Well done DLCW for giving your best! Though you have to settle as settle as the second best (to Lin Dan), you are always the best for the Malaysians.

Even in defeat, he still had some good words for his opponents. That's the true sportsmanship from a true hero.

 

"There are many good players like Peter Gade, Taufik Hidayat but there is only one Lin Dan. He is a fantastic player, a very strong rival and also a very good friend.”

"It's very disappointing to come second to Lin Dan twice in a row but Lin Dan is a very fair player and I respect him highly. This result only means I have to work harder.” (Lee Chong Wei, BWF)

18 September : Memperingati Peristiwa Penyembelihan di Sabra dan Shatila

Peristiwa pembunuhan dan penyembelihan beramai-ramai rakyat Palestin di kem pelarian Sabra dan Shatila dari 16 hingga 18 September 1982 tidak mungkin terpadam daripada sejarah kemanusiaan, walaupun media arus perdana seakan-akan tidak pernah tahu tentang hakikat peristiwa tragis itu.

Serangan dan pembunuhan di Sabra dan Shatila itu merupakan salah satu daripada rentetan sikap keji yang dilakukan oleh rejim pengganas Zionis Israel atas arahan secara langsung oleh Menteri Pertahanan ketika itu, Ariel Sharon. Sharon menggunakan taktik jahat dan hina dengan mengambil kesempatan daripada krisis militia Palangist Kristian di Lubnan bagi menghancurkan rakyat Palestin yang terpaksa menumpang hidup di kem-kem pelarian berkenaan. Batalion Palangist ini menyerang, menyiksa dan membunuh secara kejam wanita, anak-anak dan warga tua sementara tentera Zionis yang mengawal perimiter kem-kem tersebut membiarkan sahaja keganasan itu berlaku dan menghalang pihak luar daripada memasuki kawasan.

Lihatlah wajah anak-anak Palestin yang tidak berdosa dibunuh dengan kejam. Mereka ibarat adik-adik & anak-anak kecil kita yang tidak mengerti apa-apa..mungkin dibunuh tatkala mereka sedang riang bermain, atau ketika  sedang menyuapkan sesuap makanan ke mulut mereka. Masih lenakah kita dibuai mimpi? Masih inginkah kita menyokong zionist yahudi ini dengan menyalurkan bantuan kewangan secara tidak langsung melalui barangan mereka yang kita gunakan? Fikir-fikirkan...

Serangan brutal dan tragis selama 3 hari itu telah mengorbankan seramai 3,500 pelarian Palestin. Ramai lagi dilaporkan hilang dan terkubur di bawah runtuhan bangunan. Ratusan mangsa serangan yang masih hidup telah dibawa menaiki trak menuju ke tempat misteri, yang sehingga ke hari ini tidak diketahui nasib mereka.

LL4G: Mavi Marmara Raid - cont.

This is just a continuation to what I have posted before, on the Mavi Marmara raid by Pirates Zionist.

Based on the story told by one of the LL4G activists, Mustafa Mansur of MAPIM:

While in the detention camp (prison), there was an Israeli woman named "Gullit" (not sure the correct spelling), claimed herself from the social welfare department (is this real?) came to him (after being tied and torture for up to 15 hours, denied food and not allowed to go to toilet for up to 24 hours, with the riffle pointed at their head at all time):

She asked, "What do you feel?"

Guess what was his answer?

"Few days ago, when we were on our way to Gaza (before being detained by zionist), we still had (reserved) a small space in our hearts for your race (zionist), but after you have done all these (brutal and uncivilized acts) to us, you attacked and detained us, you killed our friends.. there's not a single space left in our heart for your race anymore. "

"And if you do not let us free, we'll make sure that you will receive the worst punishment soon as we have network around the globe!"

What a brave and inspiring answer.

LL4G: The Real Scene of Mavi Marmara Raid by Pirates Zionist

I have just watched a very special live program held by TV1 Channel of Malaysia, on the Freedom Flotilla Convoy of LL4G. The program was named "Palestin, Kami Bersamamu" (Palestine, We're with You). Honestly, it's very rare for me to watch TV1 due to many factors, but for this special program, it deserves the compliments.

All the 12 Malaysian heroes who had just returned home this morning, were brought to this program to share their real experience, being attacked, detained and tortured by the uncivilized pirates Zionist.

Based on what have been shared by Br. Noorazman Shamsuddin, the Head of the mission from Malaysia, I would like to write a short note on what actually happened during the raid of Mavi Marvara by Pirate Zionist. It was the untold, unpublished, or hidden scene where the whole world is not capable of seeing it. I am very sure the more details descriptions will be published soon by our media, Insya Allah.

This was what really happened. Read and think carefully! It is really shameful if any of us believe in what the CNN and other media controlled by Zionist have reported and told the world. It was a total lie by a real liar. The (fake) videos and pictures were out on website. Look here, or here, but don't trust them. They disabled people from commenting.. well, you know the reason. It is very easy to fake the videos and pictures. They thought they are good, but there are still some funny and foolish things they were not able to hide.

- The first helicopter suddenly came on top of Mavi Marmara and 3 armed commandos went down without any warning or notice. All the activists were shocked and thought that they were just like pirates who wanted to raid the ship, rob all the things, and detain all her passengers. And it was on international water (international water means it doe not not belong to specific country).

What would you do if it happened to you? You must be very stupid if you just sat there and did nothing, unless your mission is not as important as Mavi Marmaras'. The activists just defended themselves, as well as the ship from the pirates. They succeeded to capture the commandos and took control of all their complete arms. Guess what? They found a note brought by the pirates, which had listed down names of people that they need to confront (shot/killed on site), including Sheikh Raed Salah's name, a leading member of the Islamic Movement of Palestine. What was that meant? It meant, they came not to only raid the ship, but also to kill those people.

The Mavi Marmara then directed a spot light to the helicopter, which has (or might have) frightened them, and caused them to leave the ship immediately.

- The second helicopter came for revenge. This time, they shot the Mavi Marmara and activists (using life bullets) before boarding on the ship. Those shots were meant to kill the activists since their bullets have exactly hit some of the activists on their head, faces, and abdomen. Remember this, THEY WERE SHOOTING TO KILL! Because of that, a white flag was raised up by activists, but the pirates Zionist kept shooting at them. The pirates then raided the ship and detained all the activists.

To be continued: Lot of other stories shared by these 12 heroes of Malaysia, Insya Allah.

Update LL4G 31 May 2010: 2 Activists Died

As reported by Haluan Palestin, 2 activists died and more than 30 have injured due to the attack by Isrelis helicopter. Yet, they were still identifying those who died and injured in the incident.

So, what say you? Still wanna go to Starbuck, McD, and etc? No problem, keep going and buying their goods, and you will keep helping them to kill our brothers and sisters!

LL4G: Kami Akan Tiba Di Gaza, Walaupun Dengan Berenang!

“Meskipun diancam oleh Israel, kami tetap akan berusaha menuju ke Gaza, walaupun kami terpaksa berenang ke pantai."

Begitulah ungkapan luarbiasa yang disampaikan oleh wakil LL4G dari kawasan Asia Tenggara, Noorazman Mohd Shamsuddin dari Haluan Palestin Malaysia, saat upacara besar melepaskan keberangkatan kafilah kapal kemanusiaan Lifeline for Gaza di dermaga Sarayburnu, Istanbul, siang tadi (22/5). Beliau memberikan ucapan sambutan mewakili masyarakat Malaysia dan Indonesia. Di hadapan ribuan hadirin Noorazman mengatakan, bahawa rakyat Malaysia dan Indonesia telah menyatakan perasaan bencinya kepada sekatan ini dengan memberikan infaq, melakukan demonstrasi, serta memberi dukungan penuh bagi kafilah kemanusiaan ini.

“Tunggulah wahai saudara-saudaraku warga Gaza, kami akan datang menemani kalian yang sedang tertimpa kezaliman!” teriak beliau dengan penuh semangat.

----

Semoga bantuan Allah sentiasa bersamamu wahai saudara-saudaraku. Amat jauh rasanya jika nak dibandingkan antara apa yg saya telah buat dengan perjuangan mereka demi Palestin tercinta.

Rindu akan kelibat saudara Noorazman yg suatu ketika dulu aktif dan tidak jemu membimbing sahabat-sahabat di Taman Ilmu & Budi ini khususnya.

Let us stop the Zionist from killing more Palestinians, by minimizing (or if possible, stopping) the use of their (and their allies') goods that would contribute towards the welfare and development of Israel.

IRIIE 2010 - Gold Medal Winners

In the recent IRIIE 2010 (brief info on it was posted earlier), the researches were put into 3 different categories; Allied Health, Social Sciences & Humanities, and Science, Engineering & Technology.

The results for silver and bronze medal winners were posted in the morning, while the gold medal winners were only announced during the closing ceremony at 3 pm. So basically those who did not receive any silver or bronze medal in the morning were expecting either gold medals or nothing.

The number of gold medal winners according to categories were as follows:

- Allied Health: 3 gold medals
- Social Sciences & Humanities: 9 gold medals
- Science, Engineering & Technology: 26 gold medals

I am not going to highlight those 2 earlier categories since they are in my field and interest. The latter category (Science, Engineering & Technology) would be much highlighted here.

And what has impressed me was (even though I've expected that), out of 26 gold medals received by those in Science, Engineering & Technology, 17 of them were from Dept. of Biotechnology Engineering alone.

That also means, the remaining 9 gold medals were shared together with the other 5 departments in the Kull. of Engineering, Kull. of Science, Kull. of Architecture & Envt. Design, as well as Kull. of ICT.

Apart from that, the Dept. of Biotechnology Engineering also won 4 commercial awards out of 5. What a record!

The gold medals and commercial award winners were as listed below:

- Dr. Md. Zahangir Alam (6 + 2 commercial awards)
- Dr. Parveen Jamal (4)
- Dr. Mohamed Saedi (2)
- Dr. Ibrahim Ali Noorbatcha (2)
- Dr. Azura Amid (1)
- Dr. Hamzah Mohd Salleh (1)
- Dr. Irwandi Jaswir (1)
- Dr. Maizirwan Mel (1 commercial award)

Congratulation to all the winners! For those who have not won medals (particularly gold medal), I believe that the results should be taken positively, indicating that they should be working harder. And to the winners, they should keep the flag up, and encourage others to do better in the future.

Wassalam.

IIUM Research, Innovation and Invention Exhibition (IRIIE) 2010

IIUM, for the first time, is now organizing the IIUM Research, Innovation and Invention Exhibition (IRIIE). The event was launched yesterday at the university Cultural Activity Centre (CAC), and will be officially closed on today afternoon.

Last time, such event was organized only by the Kulliyyah of Engineering, not for the other kulliyyah . It was known as Kulliyyah of Engineering Research and Invention Exhibition (KERIE). So this time, I would say that the key organizer is still the Kulliyyah of Engineering, but it is organized in a larger scope that requires participation from all other kulliyyah, including those from Kuantan, PJ and Nilai Campuses.

As the name suggests, this event provides space for the researchers and students (mainly postgrad) from the university to exhibit their researches, inventions and products to the visitors. It is also aimed to attract people from industries to collaborate with the researchers here, so that the inventions can be commercialized soon. As a motivation also, all inventions would be judged (by external judges - mainly from industries) and be given some awards, i.e. gold, silver, bronze & special award. I guess the results have now been announced there.

Me & Zul at the exhibition hall

It is hoped that such a good event will be organized anually..insya Allah.

Rombongan Viva Palestina ke Gaza disekat dan dikepong

Mesir terus berkeras dan tidak membenarkan rombongan Viva Palestina daripada membawa masuk bantuan ke Gaza! Keadaan di pelabuhan Mediterranean Al Arish dilaporkan kritikal, di mana lebih 2000 polis rusuhan dikerahkan menghalang jalan masuk ke Pelabuhan tersebut. Walaupun sudah ada yang ditangkap dan tercedera, relawan Viva Palestina tetap berjuang mempertahankan kenderaan bersama-sama barangan bantuan dan ambulan yang akan dibawa masuk membantu rakyat Gaza yang dikurung dari dunia luar sejak tiga setengah tahun lalu.

“Tidak kira apa halangan yang akan kami hadapi. Sebaik sampai di Al Arish, kami diserang dengan batu, baton, kayu, dan mereka mencuri barangan yang kami bawa. Kami telah melalui perjalanan yang sangat sukar, tetapi kami tidak sekali-kali akan berhenti, kami akan terus bergerak. Kami akan terus bergerak, InsyaAllah,” kata seorang relawan, Munir Ahmad.

Tauliah untuk mengajar ilmu

Berita di mStar online: Jais terus dikecam kerana tahan bekas Mufti Perlis

KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) dibidas kerana menahan bekas Mufti Perlis Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin atas kesalahan mengajar tanpa tauliah.

Zulkifli Noordin (PKR-Kulim Bandar Baru) berkata JAIS tidak seharusnya bertindak sedemikian terhadap seorang pendakwah yang dikenali ramai terutamanya Mohd Asri mempunyai rancangan khas di stesen televisyen Astro serta blog yang dilayari oleh jutaan masyarakat Islam di negara ini.

"Bagaimana dengan rancangan agama Dr Mohd Asri di Astro yang mempunyai rating penonton mencecah tiga juta. Adakah JAIS akan menyerbu Astro untuk menahannya dan bagaimana pula dengan blog beliau yang dilayari lebih sejuta orang," katanya ketika membahaskan Rang Undang-Undang Perbekalan 2010 di Dewan Rakyat di sini hari ini.

Teruskan pembacaan di sini.

----------------------------

Pandangan saya, atas kemaslahatan tertentu, tidak lah menjadi suatu kesalahan bg Jais dan Jabatan Agama Islam negeri utk mensyaratkan setiap penceramah perlu ada tauliah sebelum mengajar ilmu agama kepada masyarakat. Isunya, bagaimana istilah 'tauliah' itu didefinisikan. Kalau definisi 'tauliah' itu adalah dengan memiliki ilmu yg benar dan diiktiraf, tidak menyeleweng, serta ada keupayaan yg cukup utk memberi pehamahaman kpd masyarakat, maka tentunya tidak timbul masalah ini. Ramai para ilmuan kita, by default, sepatutnya diberi tauliah tersebut.

Yg menjadi masalahnya, bila tauliah didefinisikan dan diberi mengikut selera pihak-pihak tertentu yg mungkin berkepentingan dlm badan tersebut. Jika ini terjadi, ada kemungkinan penceramah yg jika dinilai dari sudut ilmu & kemampuannnya layak utk diberi tauliah, dinafikan haknya hanya kerana mereka tidak selairan atau berbeza pandangan dengan pihak yg memberi tauliah.

Isu Dr. Mohd Asri - pandangan saya

Ada beberapa peristiwa & isu yg tejadi dan hangat dibincangkan di Malaysia kebelakangan ini..ada yg baik, ada yg kurang enak didengar. Tapi bagi saya, tiada yg lebih mengejutkan selain drp isu penahanan Dr. Mohd Asri oleh pihak JAIS. Alasannya, memberi kuliah tanpa tauliah.. haha, kelakar, kan? Bekas mufti pun kira takde tauliah, takde kelayakan, walaupun beliau pemegang ijazah PhD dlm bidang hadith drp UIAM. Saya sendiri pernah menghadiri kuliah beliau di Taman Sri Ukay itu. Mungkin artis yg baru sebulan dua belajar agama lebih bertauliah utk memberi kuliah asalkan dia tidak mengganggu gugat periuk nasi org lain yg ada kepentingan tertentu. Mungkin..

Dua hari lepas, sy juga amat tekejut bila sy buka mstar online, terdapatnya salinan memorandum oleh majlis peguam syar'ie Malaysia kepada YDP Agong menolak perlantikan Dr. Mohd Asri sbg YDP Yadim. Sy bertanya pd diri sendiri, "Eh, bila masa pulak Ust Asri ditawarkan utk jd YDP Yadim ni? Yadim tu apa?"

Owh, baru sy tahu, rupanya ada satu badan agama yg dinamakan Yadim di Malaysia ni. Tapi apa fungsinya ye? Erm, mungkin agak cetek pengetahun sy dlm hal ini. Klu IKIM, YPEIM, JAKIM & PERKIM tu pernah lah dengar. Dek memorandum tersebut, maka sy percaya nama Yadim sudah begitu terkenal sekarang.

Satu lg persoalan yg timbul dlm kepala sy, adakah Dr. Mohd Asri telah menerima tawaran tersebut & bakal dilantik atau sudah pun dilantik sbg YDP Yadim tu. Kalau tak, masakan memorandum telah pun dihantar. Yg mengeluarkan dan menandatangani memorandum bukanlah calang-calang orang..para peguma syar'ie tu (maknanya ada kelulusan Undang-Undang Syari'ah), serta disokong oleh beberapa NGO lain yg ada antaranya amat terkemuka dan dikenali umum di Malaysia. Kalau sekadar dengar desas-desus tentang perlantikan tersebut, dan tuan punya badan pun belum buat keptusan, sy kira tindakan oleh pihak berkenaan adalah ibarat lebih lajak daripada laju.

Semasa sy membaca isi kandungan memorandum tersebut, sy belum lagi membaca ulasan & jawapan drp Dr. Asri sendiri atau pihak lain. Drp pembacaan & pengamatan sy yg sy kira masih dhaif & kurang ilmu ini, sy amat terkejut dengan alasan (yg sebenarnya lebih berbentuk tuduhan) penolakan mereka. Antara yg amat pengejutkan sy adalah:

1. Dr. Mohd Asri dikatakan tidak mengiktiraf i'ktiqad ahli sunnah wal jama'ah dari 4 mazhab fiqh, serta dlm keadaan tertentu, menolak hadith Bukhari.

2. Beliau dikatakan telah mencerca ulama besar seperti Imam Nawawi r.h & Imam Ghazali r.h.

Utk lihat salinan memorandum tersebut, lihat di sini. Atau boleh google je, Insya Allah boleh dapat.

Tuduhan-tuduhan lain sy rasa tak perlu sy ulas di sini. Cuma sy amat terkilan dengan 2 tuduhan di atas. Astagfirullah, moga Allah ampunkan dosa kita semua. Tuduhan di atas bukannya kecil. Ia melibatkan disiplin ilmu & i'tiqad. Sy yg begitu dhaif ini, serta berbekalkan sedikit ilmu yg sy ada, sy dpt membezakan antara kebenaran & pembohongan. Sesiapa yg pernah mengikuti kuliah atau tulisan Dr. Mohd Asri, pastinya mereka akan mengatakan itu adalah tuduhan liar yg tak berpaksikan kebenaran, tanpa didatangkan hujah & fakta ilmiah.

Antara kuliah yg saya pernah ikuti adalah kuliah Riyadhus Solihin. Kitab Riyadhus Solihin ini siapa pengarangnya? Jawapannya Imam Nawawi r.h. Juga sy ikuti kuliah-kuliah hadith yg lain. Umpanya hadith Sahih Muslim, siapa pengarang Syarah Sahih Muslim? Juga Imam Nawawi r.h. Pendek kata, kuliah-kuliah hadith, serta tulisan beliau tidak terlepas drp memetik huraian & hujah Imam Nawawi r.h. Itukah yg dikatakan mencerca? Barangkali pihak yg menuduh tidak pernah tahu siapa pengarang kitab-kitab tersebut. Maaf kalau sy tersilap.

Juga dlm kuliah & tulisan beliau, Dr. Mohd Asri sentiasa merujuk kepada Imam-imam besar mazhab 4: Abu Hanifah, Malik, Syafi'e & Ahmad r.h. Dari mana dtgnya hujah yg beliau tidak mengiktiraf i'ktiqad ahli sunnah wal jama'ah dari 4 mazhab fiqh? Para salafus soleh merupakan rujukan utama bila membahaskan sesuatu yg berkaitan dengan Agama. Namun tidak kurang beliau memetik hujah oleh para tokoh kontemporari yg lebih berbentuk gerakan seperti Imam Hasan Al-Banna dan para tokoh yg seangkatan dengannya. Malah Al-Banna sendiri dengan terang menyatakan bhw sumber utama dlm Islam adalah Al-Qur'an & As-Sunnah, dan seterusnya contoh oleh para salafus soleh, terutamanya dlm hal 'aqidah & fiqh.

Kemudian baru sy dapat tahu tentang sidang media yg Dr. Mohd Asri aturkan utk menjawab tuduhan tersebut. Isi kandungannya banyak telah tersiar di media. Utk lihat video sidang media tersebut, boleh lihat di sini. Sama-sama kita nilai sendiri.

Adakah benar memorandum itu dihantar atas alasan kemaslahatan umat, utk menyelamatkan umat drp perpecahan, kekeliruan, keresahan dalam memahami agama yg tulen? Sy meraguinya.. mungkin hanya segelintir pihak yg berkepentingan sj yg keresahan akibat arus pembaharuan ini.

Malah sy percaya, dengan mengikuti kuliah dan penulisan beliau, ramai yg dahulunya kurang atau susah untuk faham tentang Islam, termasuklah sy sendiri, lebih memahami Islam yg tulen, yg lebih mudah dan praktikal. Adakah mereka ingin perjuangkan Islam yg sekadar mengikuti arus perdana? Bukan arus perdana yg jadi ukuran benar atau salah, tetapi Qur'an & Sunnah.

Bukan sedikit yg bersama & menyokong perjuangan Dr. Mohd Asri, dari golongan bahawan hinggalah ke golongan atasan, yg kurang terpelajar & terpelajar, ahli agama & ahli politik. Bukan sedikit yg mendoakan kesejahteraan beliau dan memberi semangat agar meneruskan perjuangan dakwah ini.

Seperkara lagi, sy sudah muak dengan alasan pihak ini yg mengaitkan dengan fahaman wahabi. Pertama kali sy dengar istilah 'wahabi' ketika di pusat matrikulasi. Sy bertanya kpd seorang senior dlm jurusan agama tentang maksud wahabi. Jawabnya (yg sy masih ingat), "gologan yg mahu kembali kepada Al-Qur'an & Sunnah..".

Masa tu, sy tak tahu & tak kenal pun siapa pengasas fahaman ini. Bila sy semakin matang dlm memahami ilmu & disiplinnya, sy lihat ramai org yg tak faham pun, bila melihat golongan yg mempertahankan sunnah ataupun berbeza dengan amalan turun temurun masyarakat, penyudahnya pasti akan dilabel 'wahabi'.

Sedikit sebanyak, sy juga membaca buku-buku Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi, serta meneliti cara beliau dlm memberi kefahaman agama. Patutlah beliau juga digelar wahabi, kerana beliau begitu gigih & istiqamah mengajak manusia kembali kepada sunnah Rasulullah. Sy rasa para salafus soleh juga akan digelar wahabi sekiranya mereka masih hidup pd zaman ini.

Sy tidak lah mempertahankan wahabi, tp sy rasakan ia adalah salah faham & penyalahgunaan istilah tersebut yg didalangi oleh pihak tertentu.

Inilah liku yg perlu ditempuh atas jalan dakwah. Telah ramai para ulama silam yg dituduh, ditohmah, malahan diseksa kerana mempertahan Islam, yg mungkin tidak sealiran dengan pihak yg berkuasa dan berpengaruh. Lihat saja para Imam mazhab yg 4, serta imam-imam lain, mereka tidak sunyi drp menerima ujian. Namun, kebenaran dan keikhlasan mereka tetap harum sepanjang zaman, nama mereka dikenang, perjuangan mereka diingati. Masha Allah.

Akhir sekali, sy agak kecewa melihat ada beberapa nama NGO Islam yg besar dan dikenali umum yg turut disenaraikan dalam memorandum tersebut. Ini bermakna mereka mengiktiraf tuduhan-tuduhan tersebut. Atau mungkin mereka tidak membaca isi kandungan memorandum tersebut dan meneliti dengan rasional, serta disiplin ilmu yg suci, bukan dengan emosi semata, sebelum menandatanganinya. Bukan sedikit di kalangan mereka yg terpelajar, yg bijak pandai. Jelasnya, memorandum tersebut disediakan tanpa disertai dengan kajian yg mendalam. Seharusnya setiap alasan disertai dengan hujah yg konkrit dan ilmiah, bukti yg jelas, juga bahasa yg tepat. Alahai..

Utuk laporan terkini, boleh lihat di laman web Minda Tajdid

Isteri minta cerai, adakah bergegar Arasy?

Dah lama rasanya tidak berkongsi artikel dan berita yg saya kira sedikit sebanyak membantu menambah kefahaman dan ilmu kita semua, ataupun membetulkan salah faham masyarakat kita hari ini.

Baru saya tahu rupanya hadis yg mengatakan bahawa isteri yg meminta cerai drp suami akan menyebabkan arasy Allah bergegar adalah hadis palsu.

Petikan drp tulisan Dr. Mohd Asri:

Wanita muslimah hendaklah tahu bahawa mereka boleh memohon cerai apabila mereka rasa terancam, atau tidak dapat bahagia lagi dengan suami mereka. Ungkapan sesetengah ustaz atau penceramah “Talak menggegar Arsy Tuhan” adalah unggapan daripada hadis palsu yang tidak wajar disandarkan kepada Islam yang adil ini. Talak ialah jalan keluar terakhir kepada masalah rumah tangga. Perkahwinan bukanlah penjara kejam untuk wanita, sebaliknya ia adalah mahligai kebahgiaan. Jika ia menjadi neraka dunia, maka seseorang wanita hendaklah mengeluarkan diri darinya.

H1N1 at USM Engineering Campus

I was just informed by one of the lecturers here that the H1N1 virus is now at USM Engineering campus, Nibong Tebal. Few students have been suspected of the virus attack. It's not surprised since few days before that, the ILP (Institut Latihan Perindustrian), which is one of the closest neighbour to USM was also closed due to the virus attack.

So it's now the USM turn to be shut down for 1 week (29/07 - 05/08). The news has been spread so fast. But I heard that it's only for undergraduate students. For postgraduate students and staff, the business is still running as usual.

Seemingly, nothing can stop the virus now, except all people give their full co-operation (I doubt that..too difficult). Only Allah can stop it, but efforts are still needed to fight this scary pandemic virus attack. For whatever reasons, surely this is a test from Him. Let's get back to Him.

A shameful war - Israel is the real terrorist

By the time the shooting stopped, more than 100 Palestinians had been killed for every Israeli who died. Was every death lawful? And, if not, where does the fault lie? Raymond Whitaker and Donald Macintyre report at the Independent, A shameful war: Israel in the dock over assault on Gaza. Let's spend few minutes to read and ponder it.


To all my brothers and sisters who still care about Palestine and Palestinians, let us keep helping and supporting them by whatever means that we're capable of. RM1 that we donate here might be a pain killer to our brothers and sisters in Palestine, or might be a bullet to kill the Zionist. Again, try not to buy the products that have been proven to support the Zionist. And the boycott should not last for only few weeks or months, but I would say till the death comes to us. We can certainly do it if we have the will and care about our brothers and sisters!

Israelis Applaud Massacre of Palestinians

Among the terrible pictures that I have seen on the Web, pictures that Palestinians and friends of Palestine have sent me, the most terrible was not of shattered, mutilated bodies, of blasted lives and unendurable pain. The most terrible was a picture of young Israelis standing within their secure borders (of occupied Palestine!) looking at the devastation being visited on the terrified civilians of Gaza a couple of miles away. And the unremitting horror of that image was that those who watched the bombs bursting in air and the puffs of death rising—they were smiling.

I searched my memory banks to recall where I’d seen such an image before. It was many years ago in a book about the Civil Rights struggle in America and it showed a lynching of a black man and a crowd of grinning whites—men, women and children in a party mood under the limbs of the tree upon which hung the burnt and crucified corpse. It used to be possible for travelers in the apartheid US south to purchase postcards depicting such scenes—and they had captions like, “One less Nigger to worry about!”

Source: Press Action

-------------

The world should now realize who's the real terrorist. Even their people were very happy watching the Palestinians be killed. My heart was deeply touched, full with anger when I watched a group of Israelis, men and women, gathered just to watch and enjoy the massacre few days ago on television. We'll wait till their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, relatives and friends be killed in front of their eyes, whether they can still applaud and enjoy it.

Martin Luther wrote in his book, On the Jews and Their Lies (1543):

There is no other explanation for this than the one cited earlier from Moses — namely, that God has struck [the Jews] with 'madness and blindness and confusion of mind.' So we are even at fault in not avenging all this innocent blood of our Lord and of the Christians which they shed for three hundred years after the destruction of Jerusalem, and the blood of the children they have shed since then (which still shines forth from their eyes and their skin). We are at fault in not slaying them. Rather we allow them to live freely in our midst despite all their murdering, cursing, blaspheming, lying, and defaming; we protect and shield their synagogues, houses, life, and property. In this way we make them lazy and secure and encourage them to fleece us boldly of our money and goods, as well as to mock and deride us, with a view to finally overcoming us, killing us all for such a great sin, and robbing us of all our property (as they daily pray and hope). Now tell me whether they do not have every reason to be the enemies of us accursed Goyim, to curse us and to strive for our final, complete, and eternal ruin!

Qatar, Mauritania suspends ties with Israel

DOHA/DUBAI (Reuters) - Qatar and Mauritania froze ties with Israel on Friday over its three-week-old offensive on Gaza and a meeting of Arab and Muslim leaders in Doha called for a suspension of the Arab peace initiative with the Jewish state.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani said Qatar, the only Gulf Arab state with ties to Israel, would ask the Jewish state to close its trade office in Doha and remove its staff until the situation improved.

In Nouakchott, Mauritania said it had frozen political and economic ties with Israel following the recall of its ambassador for consultations last week in protest at the Gaza offensive, but stopped short of a full severing of diplomatic ties.

The Doha meeting called on Arab countries to review their ties with Israel over the offensive that has killed more than 1,100 Palestinians and to suspend the Arab peace initiative.

The 2002 Arab initiative offered Israel normal relations in return for full withdrawal from all Arab land and a just solution to the issue of Palestinian refugees.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose country has been engaged in indirect peace talks with Israel, said the Arab peace initiative was "dead" and urged Arab states to end all "direct and indirect" ties with the Jewish state.

"I consider the Arab initiative with Israel "dead", he said.

Khaled Meshaal, Hamas's Damascus-based leader, told the opening session of an emergency conference on Gaza his group would not accept Israeli conditions for a truce and would fight on until the offensive ended.

"Despite all the destruction in Gaza, I assure you: we will not accept Israel's conditions for a ceasefire," Meshaal said.

Arab leaders risk losing legitimacy: Qaradawi

By: Anwar Elshamy

ISLAMIC scholar Sheikh Dr. Yousuf al-Qaradawi yesterday warned the leaders of Arab nations against “losing legitimacy if they kept turning a deaf ear to the voice of their peoples,” while renewing his call for a boycott of Israeli and US goods over “the ongoing onslaught on the Gaza Strip.”

In his Friday sermon at the Munira al-Suweidi mosque, Qaradawi criticised the failure of Arab regimes to “even convene an emergency summit to tackle the assault on Gaza.”

“I wonder what is the use of the arms which Arab regimes buy for billions of dollars and stockpile until they rust. I would like to tell them: Shame on you rulers to see your brethren being slaughtered while you are sitting on the fence,” he told a large congregation gathered from around Qatar to attend a rally in protest against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.

Qaradawi, who is the president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, also urged Muslims around the world to reach out to the Palestinians by all possible means.

“It is the duty of all Muslims around the world to fight against an enemy invading any Muslim nation. But because border and crossing points are closed, Muslims are required to help out the resistance by giving donations and boycotting the goods of enemies,” he added.

The scholar also slammed the US stance on the Gaza crisis, saying it “failed to lead the world both in politics and economics. It has double standards for everything.”

“America is behaving as if it is a deity of the world. The West will fall the same way the former Soviet Union collapsed if they do not reconsider their stances,” he added.

Qaradawi also hailed the the Venezuelan president’s decision to expel Israel’s ambassador as a “courageous stance”, saying that no Arab country among those maintaining ties with Israel dared even to “threaten the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador.”

He also called for activating the boycott of the products of specific companies working in the Muslim world, saying that some of these companies were thought to support Israel.

“In Qatar we have Marks & Spencer which allocates the profits of Saturdays for Israel on a regular basis. Also there is Starbucks which contributes to the education and armament of Israel,” he said.

He also called on the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas not to “sit on the fence and blackmail the people of Gaza.”
